I guess, blocking ports or defining ports to be allowed to users is not enough. Users are clever and smart from day to day. Once the originial and standard ports blocked by administrator, they use port forwarding sometimes to some kind of hosting server or dedicated server, and they still able to do music streaming. If you checkout the greatest site, let say www.shoutcast.com, u can see lots of stations use port 80, it means connecting to radio stations would be the same as clients surfing to the web. I'm still thinking patch-o-matic STRING would be the best solustion for now .. Regards, Rio Martin.
